If you are asking about a bubble in a liquid, the answer is that the bubble has lower density (the gas inside is "lighter") than the surrounding liquid.

If you are asking about a soap bubble, the answer is that air currents carry the bubble up. The bubble itself is not lighter than air (unless filled with another gas) but the film making the bubble is so thin and light that air currents can move it easily.

How do you set up a fly and bubble for fly fishing?

To set up a fly and bubble for fly fishing, start by threading the main line through a bubble float, which acts as a strike indicator and casting weight. Attach a swivel to the end of the line to prevent line twist, and then tie a leader line to the swivel, typically around 2 to 4 feet long. Finally, tie your fly to the end of the leader. Fill the bubble float with water to adjust its buoyancy, allowing it to cast further and keep the fly at the desired depth.

Why do bubbles float then sink?

Bubbles float because they are filled with gas, which is lighter than the surrounding liquid. As air within the bubble diffuses into the liquid, the bubble loses buoyancy and eventually sinks. This process is also influenced by factors like surface tension and pressure differences between the bubble and its surroundings.
